SUMMARY:December/January Book Club
DESCRIPTION:December/January CFRW Book Club Meeting\n\nJanuary 23 @ 10:30am\nJoin us for our December/January CFRW Book Club Meeting! This time\, the book is real fishy because it’s all about the British Columbia commercial fishing industry!–It features halibut\, black cod and fish thought to be extinct! So\, we hope you’re ready to put your hooks into Still Fishin’: The BC Fishing Industry Revisited by Alan Haig-Brown. \n“It is generally known that the West Coasts once-great commercial fishing industry has fallen on hard times\, but as Alan Haig-Brown demonstrates in this new book\, reports of its demise are exaggerated. A veteran of the industry himself\, Haig-Brown here offers a state of the industry report\, discovering pockets of surprising activity among the vistas of closed processing plants\, downsized fleets and corporate concentration. The Ray Phillips family of Pender Harbour continue to support a second generation by fishing halibut and black cod. Albert Radil and his two brothers have found success trawling hake in Queen Charlotte Sound. Seiner John Lenic is taking advantage of the miraculous reappearance in BC waters of the pilchard\, once thought extinct. Former Vietnamese boat person Lon Truong hopes to finance a triumphant return to the Mekong Delta by trawling BC shrimp. The Assu brothers of Campbell River still seine chum salmon in the same Johnstone Strait tide rip their father used to fish\, as did many generations of Assu ancestors before them\, but they have to work fast to get their work done in the near-impossible 12-hour time limit set by the DFO. In Haig-Brown’s story of the west coast fishery\, boats get equal time with people and fish. He laments the destruction of some historic old seiners\, just as he relishes the preservation of an old Finn Slough gillnetter named the Eva and approves the activities of fishboat superfan Randy Reifel\, who uses his considerable wealth to buy up endangered boats and keep them in working order. Is the whole fishing industry now on life support? It seems to be headed that way\, but this book offers many practical and persuasive reasons why it doesn’t have to be.” \nPomegranate Books will have copies of Still Fishin’ available for purchase\, and CFRW Book Club members receive a 15% discount. Thanks to everyone who participated in any of our discussions via Zoom during this pandemic! This next meeting will be in-person and socially distanced with chairs 6ft apart outside of Pomegranate Books! (Please bring your own outdoor chair.) Book club was created and is facilitated by CFRW Board Member Chantay Allen.

SUMMARY:October/November Book Club
DESCRIPTION:October/November CFRW Book Club Meeting\n\nNovember 28 @ 10:30am\nJoin us for our October/November 2020 CFRW Book Club Meeting! The War on the EPA: America’s Endangered Environmental Protections by William M. Alley and Rosemarie Alley is our book selection for October/November 2020. The War on the EPA presents current issues concerning PFAS “forever chemicals”  and the EPA’s role in the quality of our drinking water. This book is guaranteed to be a page-turner… \n\n“The War on the EPA examines the daunting hurdles facing the EPA in its critical roles in drinking water\, air and water pollution\, climate change\, and toxic chemicals. This book takes the reader on a journey into some of today’s most pressing environmental problems: toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS\, pervasive agricultural pollution\, dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico\, and widespread air and water pollution from use of fossil fuels. Delving into the science\, politics\, and human dimension of these and other problems\, the book illustrates the challenges of regulation\, how today’s war on science is undermining the scientific foundation upon which the agency’s legitimacy rests\, and why a strong U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is more important than ever before.” \nPomegranate Books will have copies of The War on the EPA available for purchase soon\, and CFRW Book Club members receive a 15% discount. Thanks to everyone who participated in any of our discussions via Zoom during this pandemic! North Carolina has entered Phase 3 of COVID-19 restrictions and our next meeting will be in-person and socially distanced with chairs 6ft apart outside of Pomegranate Books!

SUMMARY:August/September CFRW Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:August/September CFRW Book Club Meeting\n\nSeptember 26 @ 10:30am\n\nJoin us for our August/September 2020 CFRW Book Club Meeting! Storm water fills our creeks and rivers that are often polluted with pesticides\, so this is the perfect time for our this month’s selection\, Pesticides and Pollution by Dr. Mellanby.

He sets out to placate neither farmers nor naturalists\, but to explain in each case what is happening\, to point to both dangers and practical necessities\, and to discuss what steps should be taken.” \nDr. Mellanby was the Director of the Nature Conservancy’s Monk Wood Experimental Station and was the head of the Entomology department at Rothamsted in the UK. Rothamsted Research\, known as Rothamsted Experimental Station and then the Institute of Arable Crops Research is one of the oldest agricultural research institutions in the world.

SUMMARY:June/July CFRW Book Club Meeting
DESCRIPTION:June/July CFRW Book Club Meeting\n\nJuly 25 @ 10:30am\n\nJoin us for our June/July 2020 CFRW Book Club Meeting! This month’s selection is Rivers of Power: How A Natural Force Raised Kingdoms\, Destroyed Civilizations\, and Shapes Our World by Laurence C. Smith. We’ll have a discussion via Zoom on Saturday\, July 25\, 2020 at 10:30AM. \nIf you have not started the book yet\, consider the ways our Cape Fear River affects your life and community before you begin reading this book. Then reflect even more about its significance afterward. \nThank you to Pomegranate Books for offering a 15% discount to CRFW Book Club members and for providing our usual meeting space! (We look forward to meeting there again soon when it is safe!) Pomegranate Books and their in-store coffee house Zola Coffee & Tea are open for business with restricted hours and folks can order books for pick-up as well! \n \nRivers of Power: How A Natural Force Raised Kingdoms\, Destroyed Civilizations\, and Shapes Our World by Laurence C. Smith\n \n \n“Rivers\, more than any road\, technology\, or political leader\, have shaped the course of human civilization. They have opened frontiers\, founded cities\, settled borders\, and fed billions. They promote life\, forge peace\, grant power\, and can capriciously destroy everything in their path. Even today\, rivers remain a powerful global force — one that is more critical than ever to our future. In Rivers of Power\, geographer Laurence C. Smith explores the timeless yet underappreciated relationship between rivers and civilization as we know it. Rivers are of course important in many practical ways (water supply\, transportation\, sanitation\, etc). But the full breadth of their influence on the way we live is less obvious. Rivers define and transcend international borders\, forcing cooperation between nations. Huge volumes of river water are used to produce energy\, raw commodities\, and food. Wars\, politics\, and demography are transformed by their devastating floods. The territorial claims of nations\, their cultural and economic ties to each other\, and the migrations and histories of their peoples trace back to rivers\, river valleys\, and the topographic divides they carve upon the world. And as climate change\, technology\, and cities transform our relationship with nature\, new opportunities are arising to protect the waters that sustain us. Beautifully told and expansive in scope\, Rivers of Power reveals how and why rivers have so profoundly influenced our civilization and examines the importance this vast\, arterial power holds for the future of humanity.”

SUMMARY:Exposure by Robert Bilott
DESCRIPTION:Our next book for December/January 2020 is  Exposure by Robert Bilott\, the attorney who uncovered DuPont’s environmental contamination. This book is currently available at Pomegranate Books where you receive a 15% discount.\n\n\nExposure by Robert Bilott\n \n“In 1998\, Rob Bilott began a legal battle against DuPont that would consume the next twenty years of his life\, uncovering the worst case of environmental contamination in modern history and a corporate cover-up that put the health of hundreds of thousands of people at risk. Representing a single farmer who was convinced the creek on his property had been poisoned by runoff from a nearby DuPont landfill\, Rob ultimately discovers the truth about PFAS- unregulated\, toxic chemicals used in the manufacturing of Teflon and a host of other household goods. DuPont’s own scientists had issued internal warnings for years about the harmful effects of PFAS on human health\, but the company continued to allow these chemicals to leach into public drinking water until Rob forced them to face the consequences. \n \nExposure is an unforgettable legal drama about malice and manipulation\, the failings of environmental regulation\, and one lawyer’s quest to expose the truth about this previously unknown – and still unregulated-chemical that presents one of the greatest human health crises of the 21st century.”\n\n \n\nCFRW Book Club members receive a 15% discount at Pomegranate Books! \n \nOur next meeting is Saturday\, January 25\, 2019…10:30AM at Pomegranate Books (910) 452-1107
